Default One Little Success at a Time!
My first success has already happened! While my husband was deployed to Iraq last year, he bought me a new wedding band. He mis-heard my ring size (7.5) and bought me a 7. It was a bit tight when he first got home, and then I gained some weight after he got home and it got TIGHT-- Like I'm talking I could barely get it on and off, and I was going to go get it fixed.

WELL-- Since I have started this, my fingers have shrunk and my ring fits!! It's still a bit tight, but I can get it on and off without sticking my hand under cold water-- and I don't feel like it is cutting off my circulation!!!!!!!

That's wonderful! Congratulations... I know how you feel, my actual band has fit but my engagement ring has been too small to even wear for ages. I can wear it now, at least as long as it's not TOM! Soon maybe I'll have to wear it backwards to keep my band from falling off and you'll be ready to get your ring resized! Keep up the good work...

Congratulations. This is one of the things that I noticed too. I almost had my rings re-sized because I couldn't even wear them for about 2 yrs. They are plenty loose now and I am really glad I didn't re-size them. It is neat to notice that even our fingers get skinnier.

I totally know what you mean. My wedding ring was getting so tight I had to take it off for a few months before I started my diet. Just today I was looking at it and it was backwards. It's so big that it wont even stay on my finger right. I think it's almost time to get it re-sized. I just dont want to re size it too many times. So Im waiting alittle bit.

Congrats! What an awesome victory

One of my biggest goals is to be able to wear the "promise ring" that my husband gave me for my 16th birthday It was pretty loose way back then, but now it won't even fit my pinky ;( My hands got rather fat for some reason)
